Using different forecast per categorie

[Silvermountain]

Hello!

I have a matrix that gives me actual results per category for the current year, a comparison to last year (ytd) and a forecast based on the last year. I created a table (Forecast 25% +/- = GENERATESERIES(-0.25, 0.25, 0.001)) and there is a slicer to see the result for different forecast percentages. Forecast is calculated like [sales last year] * (1+Forecast 25% +/-[Value of Forecast]) This works fine.

What I'd like to create, is the possibility to have a different forecast percentage per categorie. In the dashboard, it would look like this:

Do I need to make a seperate forecast table or column within existing forecast table per category? Or can I use the same table for each category? Which DAX formula do I need to use to calculate the forecast per category?

Hi @Silvermountain ,

1. If the values in the four slicers originate from the same field, try editing the interaction for each slicer so that it cannot slice the other three.

2. You can also create four tables and use MIN() or MAX() to capture the values in these four slicers as variables to be substituted into the prediction formula.

If I misunderstood you needs, please feel free to let me know. You might consider providing a sample file with expected output, it would be very helpful.
